    This is one of the reasons I watch your videos - you do work on your cars that other channels wouldn't even think of, and you show that high-quality results can be achieved with care and perseverance, even without the perfect tools for the job.
    Another is your personality, which shines through in every video.
    Hugs and best wishes from the UK!

    Yes to the factory sub. It will also make it much nicer to listen to over long periods. Rockford Fosgates are fab but in my research have quite a high bass frequency cutoff. I can confirm the bassiest T1532s even remove a lot of the thump of a kickdrum. Replaced all four factory speakers with those and after a week I begrudgingly installed a removable 8" sub. I wouldn't be without it now. The difference of the before and after was comparable to your windscreen result; subtle but completely worth it. I also need to do this to my windscreen so this couldn't have popped up at a better time and something I can actually try at home with the limited tools I have access to. I love your ethos! Thanks and hope that helps.

  • @bk8230

    The windshield looks awesome. All the tiny chips are annoying, but even brand new glass won't be perfect. Replaced the glass on my challenger and it was still not perfect, but better. Getting ready to do the FRS next. Next time I will look into getting some of that stuff. Thanks for sharing this video.

I honestly don't mean this in a bad way by saying I can't believe you started this series in Oct 2017. Time flies fast when you're a devoted fan of the build. You've done some great work here. You should be proud of what you've accomplished on your own.

    Hello Sarah,
    Nice work with great results on the windshield.
    But if you don’t mind the pads for glass polishing is Rayon Pads ..
    It cut much more faster but it needs the surface to be always have moisture on it too keep it cool.
    So you can mix the Cerium Oxide to be like a paste then spray a spritz of water and work and when you feel it is started to dry spray again till you end your polishing.
    Then wipe off and inspect.
    Also Car Pro has it as a Paste.
    Hope the best for you.

  • @TyphoonVstrom

  • @djhatstand7312
    @djhatstand7312 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Cerium Oxide is also known as jewellers rouge, used as polishing compound, you mix it as a paste exactly as you did. Whenever working on glass just keep the polishing tool moving so you don’t concentrate heat in one spot and use lots of water to keep the area cool and wash any particles that could scratch the glass away.
    You did a good job 👍

    Yes, to a small subwoofer. Something like a JL Audio 6w3 or Alpine Type R 8" with a 200-400 watt amp would probably be plenty to add some bass without getting ridiculous.

    You have posters of the Nordschleife on your wall!...If you haven’t been, you should definitely go...It’s not that expensive...Just the plane ticket to Frankfurt, a rental car, and a hotel room. I stay at Motel Frankfurt in the Dornbusch neighborhood of Frankfurt. It’s about $100 a night. A full size Hertz rental is a big Mercedes. The autobahns on the 1.5 hour drive to Nurburg are intense and fun! The Nürburgring is Mecca for motor-heads and a bucket list must. A lap is €27 and takes about 10 minutes if you’re pushing it. You can drive your rental car or rent a track car at the track from a number of businesses. You’ll remember it forever. So very beautiful in the countryside of western Germany.
